Konoha: My peaceful life was betrayed by the system.

After all, no one has disciplined or restrained them for so many years, and once they've tasted the sweetness of power, they can't let go.

That's why Torifu didn't let Ashina return to the Land of Whirlpools, because there was no point in going back, and he might not even be able to come back.

It's unlikely he committed patricide, but house arrest is another matter.

After chatting in the courtyard for so long, the people inside must have heard something, but out of tacit agreement, no one came out.

As soon as they finished talking, Zhili pushed open the door and came out.

"Hey, Qu Feng, when did you get here?"

Toruka smiled and said, "I just arrived and chatted with Ashina-senpai for a bit."

Chiri waved to the two of them: "Senpai and Torifu, come quickly, and Kushina too, the food is ready."

Toruka gestured to Ashina, and the two then went inside together.

Kushina also ran out of the house and followed behind her grandfather.

As soon as I entered the room between the pillars, I smelled a fragrance.

"Master's wife, did you make my favorite dish again?"

Qu Feng called out towards the kitchen.

Upon hearing this, Mito poked her head out and smiled, "Yes, Torifu, come and sit down, the food will be ready soon."

Upon entering the living room, he saw Hashirama and Tobirama playing a game, so Torifu quietly walked behind them to observe.

Hashirama still used his signature character, Senju Hashirama...

It's perfectly reasonable for them to play games with each other, isn't it?

"Haha, Tobirama, you lost again. It seems your skills are still inferior to mine."

Loud laughter echoed throughout the living room.

This really startled Qu Feng behind him.

This also led Hashirama to discover how to harness the wind.

"Oh, Feng is here. Has he already finalized a cooperation agreement with the Shadows?"

Qu Feng nodded with a smile: "Yes, we have cooperated with the Mizukage, Tsuchikage, and Kazekage, but it's all been in the form of money. The last thing Konoha Village has to lack right now is money."

"Judging from your tone, it seems you don't like money? When I was in power, all the expenses of Konoha Village came from the Senju clan's land. It was much worse than what you are now."

When the village was first established, it was indeed extremely poor. The daimyo of the royal city was unsure how much money Konoha Village was worth investing in, as well as its stability and practicality.

Therefore, the amount of money given will definitely not be much, and the village can only rely on the assets of the Uchiha and Senju clans to develop.

With this scale now, Hashirama must be laughing in his sleep.

Qu Feng found a place to sit down and continued, "Some resources can't be bought with money. I've been worried about this for a while, but luckily, we've solved it all today."

Hashirama thought for a moment, then a look of delight appeared in his eyes: "It's the Land of Iron, right? What kind of contract did they sign with Konoha?"

Konoha Village is now vigorously developing its industry, manufacturing various electrical appliances, which requires a large amount of ore and other resources.

Chapter 511 Ordinary Yet Extraordinary

With this scale now, Hashirama must be laughing in his sleep.

Qu Feng found a place to sit down and continued, "Some resources can't be bought with money. I've been worried about this for a while, but luckily, we've solved it all today."

Hashirama thought for a moment, then a look of delight appeared in his eyes: "It's the Land of Iron, right? What kind of contract did they sign with Konoha?"

Konoha Village is now vigorously developing its industry, manufacturing various electrical appliances, which requires a large amount of ore and other resources.

Other resources are fine; the Land of Fire has abundant resources, enough for Konoha Village to use for several decades.

Furthermore, Konoha Village imports these resources from other countries, which undoubtedly slows down the consumption of resources in the Land of Fire.

So none of these are big problems.

But ore is a somewhat troublesome topic.

Konoha Village has always needed minerals to make kunai, shuriken, and various ninja tools.

These consumables are all recyclable, and a few small mines within the Land of Fire are sufficient.

Not to mention the large mineral veins in Hell Valley.

Even Hell Valley couldn't withstand ten years of mining and is already nearing depletion.

The mines in the Land of Fire cannot supply Konoha Village alone; the royal city and other villages also need to consume them.

However, manufacturing electrical appliances requires the consumption of huge amounts of ore.

Therefore, the only target can be the Land of Iron.

"The first-rate general of the Land of Iron is easy to talk to, and he is reforming the Land of Iron with his apprentice, so he signed a contract with Konoha to cover all inhabited villages in the country with electricity."

"This is a huge order. This ore alone is enough to support Konoha Village's development for five or six years or even longer."

Upon hearing the words "take the wind," everyone in the room wore smiles.

The better the village develops, the happier they naturally become.

Hashirama: "Not bad, not bad at all! It wasn't a waste of your time on your first day of marriage to meet them; the gains you made are truly impressive."

"I think Chiri will forgive you."

When Zhili was mentioned, Qufeng looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Zhili, work took up our whole morning, so we don't have anything to do this afternoon."

Chiri smiled slightly: "Of course it's alright. I'm naturally very happy to hear that the village has signed so many contracts with other countries."

Zhili was still as understanding as ever.

Afterwards, everyone sat together and chatted about some interesting things that happened during the meeting.

The matter of the Land of Water was deliberately kept quiet by Torifu, as he didn't want Ashina-senpai to lose face in front of so many people.

Although they were talking loudly in the yard, only Zhili should have heard what they were saying.

It's harmless.

"Fetch the wind, govern the village, come and serve the dishes."

Mito called out from the kitchen, and Torifu and Jiri immediately got up to serve the dishes.

Tobirama and Ashina also got up and went to the dining table to help set out the dishes and chopsticks.

Only Hashirama remained seated on the sofa, collecting his duel arena rewards.

In fact, Hashirama was somewhat chauvinistic, or rather, most men in the ninja world had this trait.

They believed that women should stay home and cook, while men should go out to earn money and fight wars.

Even in the original world, this situation exists.

Not to mention the ninja world where power can be wielded, male chauvinism is even more pronounced.

However, after Torifu became Hokage, the villagers' views gradually changed.

Previously, Tobirama and Hashirama would not make any moves, just wait for their meal.

Everything was prepared by Mito.

Now, Tobirama also helps with small tasks.

But Hashirama still maintained his old ideas.

There's nothing I can do; although my body is younger, my soul and mindset haven't changed at all.

However, Hashirama was very good to Mito, something most people wouldn't do.

Before long, the food was served.

There were eight dishes in total, including some that Qu Feng liked, as well as some dishes like sashimi that Qu Feng didn't particularly like.

However, since it's my teacher's wife who's treating, I can't be picky. I can just not eat it.

"Today is the first day of your marriage, Tokifu and Chiri. I wonder if you two have gotten used to this life as a couple."

Qu Feng scratched his head and smiled: "It's alright. I can't say whether I'm used to it or not. It feels like everything is falling into place naturally. Maybe it's because we've been together since we were little. Now it's just a change of identity."

"I didn't notice any difference."

Zhili nodded as well. She shared similar thoughts with Qufeng. She had originally thought there might be some things they wouldn't be able to get used to, and that their lifestyles might clash.

But in the end, they discovered that their lifestyles had already been honed together over the past twenty years.

The two people had remarkably similar habits; they liked and disliked the same things.

It's truly amazing.

Hearing the young couple's answer, Hashirama and Mito covered their mouths and smiled: "The reason you two have been together since childhood is because your master and I got married first and then developed feelings for each other."

"When we first got together, it was so uncomfortable. Our habits were completely different, and it took us a long time to adjust to each other."

This was the first time Mito had told Torifu and the others the story of her marriage to Hashirama.

It makes sense, since Mito and Hashirama's marriage had a political element to it, and the two didn't have much of an emotional foundation.

Everything was achieved through gradual adjustment, which led to the deep bond we have today.

Taking wind and treating the body are two completely different methods.

"But no matter what, as long as you're happy in life, that's all that matters," Hashirama said at the right moment.

Mito glanced at Hashirama, seemingly surprised to hear such words from him.

Yes, as long as he's happy, that's all that matters. I feel like he's quite happy right now.

His relationship with Chiri wasn't particularly dramatic; it was just very ordinary.

Like a gentle stream, life should be like the life Qu Feng desires—less dramatic, more peaceful and ordinary.

During meals, Qu Feng would occasionally put some food on Zhi Li's plate.

These are all things that Zhili likes; that's the unspoken understanding between the two of them—they know each other's preferences without even asking.

Therefore, a simple and enduring love like theirs isn't necessarily bad.

While passionate love is nice, it's just not suitable for Qu Feng and Zhi Li.
